I once had a client say in a negotiation that 'Simon can spot a contract issue at 500 yards whilst riding a horse backward at night in a snowstorm'. It was a very nice thing to say, but not quite true. I can't ride a horse. So maybe my client referred to above was right. In any event, if its contract-related I know I can help.
To draft, review, handle, prepare or provide all your commercial business contracts and all other agreements you need. Simon was fantastic to deal with. He was thorough, concise and straight to the point at all times and didn't try to over complicate things. I would highly recommend Simon and the team from The Contract Company to anyone wanting assistance in any contractual matters.
For the quoted fixed firm price we will review the contract and highlight in the contract (using the 'comments' feature in word) the risks, issues or problems with a clause, or sentence or the contract in general. This way you understand the contract you are about to sign and can make an informed decision as to whether you should sign the contract.
Believe it or not the answer to this is generally speaking 'no', most busines contracts have a certain structure and so once you have looked at a few hundred of them (or a few thousand in our case) it becomes relatively easy to work out where the legal issues are in relation to the relevant contract.
An Agency Agreement gives power to one party (the agent) to act on behalf of another party (the principal). For instance you might give an agent the ability to go and sell your products or services in a certain territory for a certain period.

Using this example your agent is your 'salesman' and is out there trying to generate sales for you (they would then be paid a commission based on the sales they generate) but it would be up to you to actually supply the goods or provide the services.

Simon did an excellent job of reviewing our contract suite. He was responsive and helpful with practical advice and gave freely of his time.
He explained the review process and reasons behind the suggested changes clearly.
We now feel more confident in having a balanced and robust contract suite to do business with our clients.

Simon was highly professional, and responsive. We received quick, and effective advice along with numerous edits of the contract we needed drafted. I was really impressed with the video recording explaining the various clauses within the contract. This was very helpful in understanding the specialist legal aspects of the contract. I would not hesitate to recommend The Contract Company to anyone looking to have a contract drafted.

I spoke with Simon and explained what I needed help with in regards to a section in a drafted contract. He immediately understood our objectives, explained what was and wasn't required and redrafted the section the same day. As it was a small piece of work he wouldn't even accept payment... WOW!! Super impressed. What an exceptional operator! Thank you Simon

I spoke with Simon and told him what I want to achieve in regards to a new contract/ agreement. He immediately understood my goals and drafted up a contract. It was well structured and now makes doing business a lot easier. Out of about 20 contract lawyers I spoke with Simon was the only person I felt comfortable with writing an important legal document for my business.
